What does all this mean? All things don’t matter at all in the face of death.
I know it is hard to find a proper perspective on our problems in life. Still, the truth is that the sooner we start to think about death, the better for us. Why? Does it mean to be in a gloomy mood all the time? No. On the contrary, even though my pictures seem gloomy and sad for many people, I consider myself a happy man. Still, wherever I face some problems, I always try to repeat myself:
What does all this mean? All things don’t matter at all in the face of death.
By doing it, I try to obtain a proper perspective on my life and all my issues. After all, no matter if and how I face my current problems, sooner or later, I will be dead. It is death that is the ultimate end of my consciousness. I cannot influence death’s coming anyhow. Thus, should I worry about problems that much, knowing that death can be close to me? I do not think so. Wherever I analyze how to solve some issues, I always try to predict the worst-case scenarios. Conclusions are always the same: there is always a death at the end of the worst possible scenarios. Does it mean I am afraid of death? No. The final end is something natural, on the same level as the birth of a new human.
Of course, knowing that my consciousness will disappear and dissolve forever can be slightly disappointing. Still, thinking only about myself would be a genuinely egoistic life approach. The truth is that I am the center of the Universe, but only for myself. The center of my Universe is where I am present right here and right now. What does all this mean? It means I do not have to worry about all the problems because sooner or later, I will be dead.
